"The Beautiful Legend of Sicily": Three truths about human nature that I hope you know

Escape from Ordinary Evil-Super
Life is full of surprises. After Marlena left, her husband Nino came back. It turned out that he was not killed, but only lost an arm.

"The rice is pounded to make rice, and the sunflower is picked to make soup. The rice is cooked for a while, but I don't know who it is." After returning from many years of fighting, his wife disappeared and the house was occupied.

When he asked people about his wife's whereabouts, the townspeople either kept silent or sarcastically told him to look for her in the chicken shop.

The young Renaldo gave Nino a letter telling him where Malena was going, and told him that Malena loved him very much and had been waiting for him. What people say is also true, but it is all out of necessity.

Nino, who loves Malena deeply, immediately buys a train ticket to find her.

A year later, Marlena and her husband returned together, one missing an arm and the other a broken heart.

Malena lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, a little timidly, and even almost sprained her feet because of her nervousness.

But Nino straightened his back and held his beloved wife with his unbroken left arm without hesitation. His eyes were firm, just like the love they still held on to after experiencing the vicissitudes of time and the harm in the world.

At this time, Marlena had gained weight and had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and the women were chattering behind her. It turns out that she will also grow old, and everyone seems to be able to feel proud.

Marlena smiled faintly and said "good morning", and the market suddenly became excited. They rushed to recommend items to her and said "good morning" to her.

The women in the town accepted her in their hearts. She was no longer beautiful. She became as ordinary as them and had a disabled husband. She no longer posed a threat to them, and might even be worse than them.

There is this narration in Keigo Higashino's "Malice":

There is no reason for some people's hatred. They are mediocre, talentless, and mediocre. Therefore, your excellence, your talent, your kindness and happiness are all original sin.

For Malena, beauty is probably her original sin.

The people in the town are mediocre and incompetent, unable to control their own destiny, and do not know how to introspect themselves. They live a muddle-headed life all day long. They cannot see the beauty of Malena.

They need to destroy this beauty, use Malena's mediocrity and misfortune to maintain their poor sense of superiority, and then continue to live a mediocre and poor life in self-deception.

The destruction of Malena Mei is a reflection of the complexity of human nature, and the men and women in the small town have no trace of them in real life?

Just like Lin Huiyin's goddess brilliance during the Republic of China was too dazzling.

Li Jianwu once said: "Almost all women regard her as their enemy."

Among the talented women of the Republic of China, she was too outstanding. She had all the beauty, family background, intelligence, knowledge, achievements, and luck with the opposite sex.

Compared with Zhang Ailing, she is too beautiful; compared with Bai Wei, her husband's family background is too prominent; compared with Bing Xin, she is too smart and talented; compared with Xiao Hong, her marriage is too happy.

Lu Xiaoman hated her because compared with her husband's ex-girlfriend, her own light suddenly dimmed;

Ling Shuhua also hated her because Lin Huiyin might have behaved too arrogantly during the "Eight Treasure Box" incident;

Liang Sicheng’s second wife, Lin Mo, couldn’t help but arrange some out-of-the-box things in the book;
And Bing Xin, he did not hesitate to write articles to ridicule her...

Whether nature is inherently good or inherently evil has been a topic of endless debate since ancient times.

In addition to being an ukiyo-e that shows the naked evil of human nature, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" also conveys kindness and warmth.

The young Renaldo protected Malena with his untainted kindness, and Nino used his unswerving love to help Malena regain the courage to live.
Where the flowers bloom, there are many thorns; when the moon shines, the clouds cover the fog.

"Everyone's cracks will eventually become the pattern of the story."

The jealousy and slander that each of us encounters will eventually pass, and all of this is the flavor of life.

The scars on the Tree of Life finally became wise eyes that see into life.
